I
Listen up and I’ll tell
you a truth shall I
about crazy hysteria
and a convenient lie.
About how the hellish
Australian fires
are blamed on
“climate change” deniers -
to convince you of
global warming
and that the climate
is transforming.
About the zealot
Church of Climatology
who follow their
doomsday cult ideology
and bow to
a brainwashed little girl
who preaches the end
of the world.
But what they don’t
tell you are the facts
for fear of condemnation
it attracts.
II
Listen up and I’ll tell
you a truth shall I
that Australia has always
been wet and dry.
This land of fire, drought
and flooding rain
burns and cracks and
floods again and again -
thus these fires are
not “unprecedented”
such as the bias media
misrepresented.
They shout the mantra
of “climate change”
but the facts like
themselves they derange.
The fires they blame
on hotter days
but not the arsonists
who set them ablaze,
and not the highly
combustible eucalypt trees
that burn faster
and hotter by degrees.
III
Listen up and I’ll tell
you a truth shall I
about how when fools
play wise people die!
And how eco-fascist
environmental laws
are the reason the wild
bushfire roars -
how the huge forest
fuel load uncleared
fed the fires like true
nature lovers feared.
The media cry
“man-made” destruction
instead of incompetent
hazard reduction.
The drought they blame
on oil, gas and coal
but not a cooling
Indian Ocean dipole,
and now that summer
torrential rains fall
that too is climate change
they bawl.
IV
First we had the fearmonger
idiot Al Gore
who in his crusade got
richer and richer more.
They said “mass starvation,
crops will fail”
yet we grow on
an unprecedented scale -
how more extreme
weather events are due
when the data shows
the opposite is true.
They crowed the Maldives
would disappear
but guess what, 30 years
on they’re still there!
They said Tuvalu is sinking
as sea levels rise
but satellite mapping
showed it gained in size,
and now they bow and pray
to Greta who
prophesies death
and shouts “how dare you!”.
V
Add Attenborough, another
crackpot halfwit
says polar beers are
dying out, that’s bullish-it!
Prince Charles,
Harry and Meghan spoke
but they are the princes
and princess of woke.
Hollywood too,
those dumb smug elites
in their private jets
full of their own conceits.
Now they speak
of an existential threat
and scare our kids
into a doomsday mindset -
that civilisation will end
in their lifetime
and that to me is
the real climate crime.
Australia! Your ash and dust
is in my veins,
this land of fire, drought
and flooding rains.
